Interesting.

Ironically, I used to be an extrovert when it came to women. But since the onset of OLD 10-15 years ago, now I'm an introvert. I'm pretty much a loner now. Just to many un-returned messages did me in. It's also made me reluctant to approach anyone in person.

So the reverse affect of someone who was an introvert initially. This extrovert is now an introvert.

The ones I'm thinking of are people for whom their home is really a refuge, they have little or no desire to go out in social groups, network, or meet "people" but they do crave the occasional company in a controlled and limited way. One dude I knew, he said "You need to understand. I live alone, but I am not a lonely man." He was perfectly happy to be alone most of the time. Once in a while it pleased him to have a woman come share his space and bed for a time. But he did NOT want to share his life. I really quite enjoyed him, and didn't have a problem with his terms. But then...that is where I was at in that phase of my life.

Well, if you count the guys that would message nothing more than a, “sup” as the same as guys who randomly say, “hi” in public and you count serious dates, I’d say the attention is about the same really. During the time I was using OLD I went on dates with two or three more men from online vs met in person. Of course that’s just counting comparing in public when I was online. I’d go long stretches not using online dating. As for meeting people. I met my boyfriend on Match. We’ve been dating more than three years now.
